Question

If you know that 4 of an item costs a certain amount, and you want to find out how much one costs, which operation will you use?

A) addition
B) division
Eliminate
C) matriculation
D) multiplication

Answer 1

The answer would be division (B)

Explanation:

4x equals the total amount

x equals the cost of one item

Therefore you'd divide total cost by 4 and that would find the cost of one item

Answer 2

We will use division operation

Explanation:

Let x be the cost of 4 items

So, cost of 1 item =
`(x)/(4)`

So, we have used division operation

So, to find out how much one costs, we will use division operation

So, Option B is true

Hence we will use division operation
